@flavorsbyalessandra: Fried calamari is one of the most elite appetizers, prove me otherwise 🦑🔥 It’s light, crispy, tender and SO delicious. Growing up by the sea, my father has had this dish LOTS of time and it still remains one of his favorites to eat and make. That tradition was passed on to my brother and I. I especially love this dish around the holidays. At my house we traditionally make this on Christmas Eve or day, frying it just as the guests arrive and serving it hot with a squeeze of lemon and some flakey salt. 🔑 Here’s the important tips: - combine 2 parts flour and 1 parts semolina for the coating - fry in light olive oil for extra flavor - don’t overcook it, they only need a quick fry until golden - season with salt immediately out of the fryer - enjoy right away with a squeeze of lemon Question for you: which do you prefer the rings or tentacles?!!! ⬇️⬇️ #calamari #friedcalamari #holidayappetizers #flavorsbyale
People are bothered by you frying in olive oil where I'm shocked you didn't bother to season anything. But the fact that you added semolina has definitely peaked my interest. 🤔

When you say a “quick” fry, how much time are we actually talking?

Olive oil is much cheaper in Southern European countries but you could also shallow fry these, guys!
